Biography
James Barroll Washington was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1839, a descendant of George Washington. He went to West Point with George Armstrong Custer, whom he befriended. When the American Civil War broke out, Washington sided with the Confederacy, serving as a Confederate States Army lieutenant and as Joseph E. Johnston's aide-de-camp. On 31 May 1862, he was captured at the Battle of Seven Pines, and his old classmate Custer - who had been fighting for the Union - took a picture with him while Washington was in captivity. On 21 September 1862, Washington was exchanged, and he served as an ordnance officer in Alabama. After the war, he became a B&O Railroad executive, and he died in Pittsburgh in 1900.
